rdiosyncrasies of Plants.

An English reviewer of book by Dir.
Charles Roberts, called "The Natural
lists Diary mentions the idiosyncrasis
Of certain plants and animals as a fea-
ture to which more attention might be
given. Thus, a quantity Of seed taken
from the same plant at tho same time,
and sown under the same conditions so
far as possible, will nevertheless exhibit
very great variation in the length Of
time required for termination. The
fact enlorces the circumstances that the
same amount Of aggregate temperature
and Of watcr-supply, the same conditions
of soil, etc, do not necessarily imply
corresponding identity of result.
The same thing happens to trees.
Every one knows how some individual
horse-chestnut trees are year by year
more prccocious in their development
than their fellows. 1t sometimes hap
pens, too, that one branch of one tree
is considerably in advance OF the others.
Some persons might call these cases of
exceptions, but they are hardly that.
Since they are connected with the main
body of habitudes by every possible
graduation, they are to be considered as
extremes rather than as exceptions, and
therefore to be included in the making
up of averages. r Monthly Popular

Legend Of the white Woman.

The latest measurement makes Pcpo-
catepetl little more than 10, 600 feet in
height, one of the mightiest in that
burning girdle' which surrounds the
Pacific. Its twin, Iztaccihuatl, is 5000
feet lower, long, uneven ridge, instead
of a cone, but being that much nearer
the limits of vision, the greater of the
two from the valley Facing eastward,
Iztaccihuatl- Mujer Blanca, or the
"White Woman is really suggestive
by its shape, of dead giantess, robed
for burial. Far and near this long ex-
tinct volcano is known as the ''White
Woman, and from the City of Mexico,
as from the plains of Ameca- Mecca, the
resemblance is the same, to a dead
woman stretched out on her bier, GOV
cred with white sheet. The contour
of face breast, and limbs is perfect, and
the hair is streaming in long, silyery
locks back from the snowy forehead and
uoN tuC SluCS VI iht DlCl. uc iCtb
are turned toward her companion giant,
and between the two lies brown and
treeless ridge.
There is a tradition among the Indi-
ans that these two volcanoes were once,
in the early years of the world, living
human beings, both of gigantic stature.
Unfortunately for the colossal pair, they
committed some misdemeanor which SC
offended the Supreme Deity that He
changed them into mountains. He
struck the giantess dead, and there she
lies to this day, robed in glistcning
white, stretched beneath a winding
sheet of snow. The giant was merely
rooted fast to the spot, condemned
through all the slow centuries to con-
template his loved companion. For
merly he was wont to express his grief
and Indignation by pouring forth vol
umes of smoke and shedding floods of
fiery lava tears, shaking the whole
earth in the agony of his trcmblings.
Then the affrighted natives worshiped
him as Tlaloe, the God of Storms, and
called him Popocatepetl ('HilI That
smokes.") But all this was long ago;
and for hundreds of years the giant has
remained impassive, apparently re
signed to his doom. - Mexican Letter.

On some parts Of the coast Of Sumatra
and the neighboring islands the fisher
men test The depth ofthe sea and also
the nature of the sea bottom by the
noises they hear on applying the car to
one end of an oar of which the other
end is plunged in the water. At a
depth Of 20 feet and less the sound is
crepitation, similar to that produced
when salt is thrown on burning char
coal at so feet it is like the ticking Of
watch, the tic-tac being more or less
rapid, according to whether the bottom
is entirely Of coral or alternately Of coral
and mud, or Of sand II the bottom is
entirely of sand the sound is clear; if Of

species of micro organism, according to
M, Vignal, who has of late succeeded in
isolating and cultivating them, and test
ing their action ON foods. OF these or
ganisms, 7 dissolve cooked albumcn; )
swell it, or render it transparent; 10
dissolve tibrin; render it transparent,
or swell it; . dissolve gluten; trans
form starch, but only acts with some
energy; another seems to live upon it
but without Transforming it; coagu-
late milk; 6 dissolve casein 8 transform
lactose into lactric acid T intcrvert
cane, Z cause glucose to fermcnt, and
transform it partially into alcohol. All
these actions are more or less energetic.
Six of the buccal organisms were found
in the fGcas. Vignal concludes that
micro organisms play an important part
in the digestion Of food. - Medical

4SIeen or, a Headache

A scientific writer says: "Sleep, if
taken at the right moment, will prevent
an attack of nervous headache. If the
subjects of such headaches will watch
the symptoms of its coming, they can
notice that it begins with feeling Of
WEAKNESS and heaviness This is the
time that a sleep Of an hour or two, az
nature guides, will effectually prevent
the headache. If not taken just then it
will be too late, for after the attack is
fairly under way it is impossible to get
sleep until far into the night, perhaps.
1t is so common in these days for doc
tors to forbid having their patients
walked to take medicine, il they are
asleep when the hour comes round, that
the people have learned the lesson pref
ty we'll, and they generally know that
sleeps better for the sick than medicine,
But it is not well known that sleep is
wonderful preventive Of disease better
than tonic regulators and stimulants.
